There was a group of people from Dragon Pass, mostly Sartar. In Praxian = our word for Sartarite requires locality, meaning that those refered to = are currently in Sartar. We know them from raiding them in their place. = This is also the case for our names for oasis slaves. These people were = not currently where they came from, so our word for them didn't fit. We =had to use other terms for them, and since they were just foreign ground = men we couldn't use any other term for people. Since these guys were all = full of hate and frothing at the mouth, stinking and rabid, and seemed = to have nothing else in their minds but destruction, we called them = broos. Maybe they were too!
